Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Glaucoma  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness.
The outlook of the disease varies by type: Open-angle glaucoma With good care, most patients with open-angle glaucoma can manage their condition and will not lose vision, but the condition cannot be cured. It's important to carefully and regularly follow up with your doctor.
Angle-closure glaucoma Rapid diagnosis and treatment of an attack is key to saving your vision. Seek emergency care immediately if you have symptoms of an angle-closure attack, as blindness will occur in a few days if it is not treated.
Congenital glaucoma Early diagnosis and treatment is important. If surgery is done early enough, many patients will have no future problems.
